The NASL Team League will pit eight of the world’s best teams battling each week for a $10,000 prize pool. Four invited teams include the top four finishers from the second season of the GosuCoaching Premiere League – Empire, EG, Mouz, and Liquid. Rounding out the lineup of teams will be four teams from two qualifying tournaments.

Cool, so how do I sign up?
The bracket is closed! All 64 spots are filled now (the bracket shows a free win, but it's actually Team [N] need admin help to fix it)
A very bold move to use an all-community map pool, but it's frigging awesome nonetheless. This team league is good initiative that might pull in those stream numbers the NASL needed.

This should be fun. But lets see if its better than IPL team arena.
If you meant qualifiers than both of them already in it.
If you meant the main tournament then EG has a great chance to make it with their top three (along with JYP to round out the four). Liquid players had gotten better in the later part of 2011 and hopefully they will continue getting better.
Considering the rivalries (EG, Mouz and TL) this is shaping up to be heated tournament.
Sounds good. Will there be casts for the qualifiers? Would be awesome, because if teams like dignitas, aTn, Millenium, Acer, Imba or Reign would sign up, there is the potential for very good games (I doubt koreans will sign up, because of their boycott) . Since two teams qualify, I assume there will be a second qualifier. Can you already say, if it will be also on NA or on EU?
I loved the first season of NASL, but the second season had alot of lackluster matches and I lost a little interest. This is exactly what the NASL needs in order to maintain relevance.

No -- you can only use 4 in a clanwar though
Yeah but you're making it so that the vast majority of EU teams can only qualify from one. Meaning that the first qualifier will probably be easier and that a few teams will advance from the first qualifier that are worse than teams that won't advance from the second.
